When I placed my dad, using other referral agencies, I was inundated with calls from communities. Carewatchers website offered four continuing care retirement communities in my city. I opted to have each of them call me to discuss now my mom's care. It was gratifying to hear from just four communities.

I found a lovely, continuing care retirement community for my dad using the Carewatchers website. He's nearby our family so we can visit regularly, and he's delighted with his new home. Carewatchers doesn't charge a referral fee, so his payment for care all went to the facility. Nice!

I liked having the option of being allowed to call directly to the continuing care retirement communities featured on their website to speak with their advisors. Calling them on my time worked out well for me to consult about mom's care, especially with my busy schedule.
